u bz?
So, what exactly does it take, other than the “busy” status on your instant messenger to make people understand that you are actually, truly, positively busy??!!
The “ ignore strategy” works but then be prepared to be labelled mean/snobbish blah!blah!.....not to mention the explaination as to why you were busy!
I normally ignore IMs coming my way when I am working or am not in the mood for virtual socialising.....but this particular individual was adamant today.
*bling and out pops the window*
B: Hey! u bz?
*Aya shuts down window remorselessly*
*bling accompanied by window a minute later*
B:u there?
Aya: hey…whats up?

rai: :p
hahah..oh my, I can relate to that. Honestly. I keep it 'on the phone'...always. Whenever I want to message anyone, I do it myself, that way both parties remain happy :) But this is a huge problem and because its not a real life thingy, you can't 'show' discomfort or any similar gesture. The emoticons so cannot replace any facial expression!
